Dear Claire,I haven't written you a letter in awhile and I thought after our beautiful 72 straight hours together it was the perfect time. You are awesome. I'm so glad we got to have another fun filled weekend, got to celebrate your first Easter and then you got to come with me to work. I wanted to thank you for keeping up with us and for being such a trooper. We spent lots of time in the sun, your face got licked repeatedly by doggies, you were passed around, and you got to spend time with Ela, Pops, grandma Dean & GT! Even with such a busy weekend you were mostly smiles and such a great addition to everything we were doing. We want you to experience it all. In the past few weeks we have had our shares of downs too but we got through them. You are back to sleeping better and we are all happier for it. You are starting to display your independence and as tough as it is to hear you scream because I took the plastic bag out of your mouth or to watch you cry because I wouldn't let you eat that price tag I know that in the long run you will be a strong woman who knows what she wants. I think your tastes will greatly develop from plastic bags and price tags though. Thank you for keeping me on my toes and making me laugh. Only you could crawl away from me while getting poop on the carpet and I wouldn't bat an eye, that is just the kind of lady you are haha I know we have lots of gross, hard, fun, and new times ahead. I'm so excited.Love you baby,momma

Oh, Nikol! This made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes! You are such a wonderful mother and SO patient! I love seeing you as a mother. You truly are a patient, loving, encouraging mother...and your daughter is one lucky little lady!
